ive had trouble sleeping my entire life. i think its my restless leg syndrome but i think at this point i will actually have to go to a sleep therapist. my other hypothesis is i have this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_disorder
usually when i workout late at night (weightlifting) i get that post-workout dopamine rush and it makes it harder 2 sleep. i find that exercising a ton earlier in the day makes me nap in the evening and then not sleep at night. i guess maybe if i go in the evening it could work but i never really tried
Generally the more in shape you are the quicker your heart rate returns to a normal resting rate. I find low intensity exercise does best for my sleep quality according to my Fitbit
jw why you recommend this. ive been on/off sleeping meds for most of my adult life (have terrible insomnia especially when manic) and they tend to either not work (lunesta) or have such bad side effects its not worth taking them (ambien)
Don’t drink any caffeine after noon. Some people retain caffeine longer than others. It’s a genetic thing.
A shot of whiskey an hour before bed helps.
Restless leg can be a sign that you need more potassium.
Thinking happy thoughts before sleeping helps.
